This is section 1.3 in the book Biology: The Dynamics of Life. I talk about quantitative vs. qualitative research, how science is influenced by society, the difference between pure science and applied science and then I finish off with the definition of technology, when it comes to science.

Section 1.2 in the book Biology: The Dynamics of Life deals with the Methods of Biology. In this section, I talk about the Scientific method, which shows the steps that are used to answer questions scientifically. Of course, when talking about the scientific Method, you have to include a discussion of Controlled experiments.
